chapter three hundred sixteen

The Luo family wants to interfere in Japan? Just kidding!

Although he and Luo Ning had old friends, he had no favoritism for the so-called Donglin Party of Jiangnan family. He usually had extravagant and wanted to talk a lot in the court. However, when the Ming Dynasty was in crisis, he was silent and refused to give up even a slight interest. Why did Zhang Juzheng's new policy be resisted and slandered by local governments in every possible way? In fact, it was not that Zhang Juzheng had to pay the taxes to pay the silver, but that he had to thoroughly measure the land and allow those hidden lands that the aristocratic families had nowhere to hide.

The illegally occupied national interests were unwilling to be exposed, not to mention his own feudal privileges. In the 13th year of Chongzhen, the biggest victory and defeat outside the Ming Dynasty, during the Songjin Battle, Hong Chengchou's army was so hungry that the court had no food and salary to send, but Yang Sichang, who was in charge, still bit his teeth and did not increase taxes. He watched Hong Chengchou have to go out and bury all the elites outside the pass in Songjin. Because Yang Sichang knew that if the small people had no choice but to add, they would have to add them, and if they added them, they would have to add them, so he would rather watch more than 100,000 people take risks with their lives than dare to offend this huge interest group, and he was even more afraid of destroying their rules of the game.

The rich merchants in Yangzhou are rich and wealthy, and Shanxi Jin merchants are also rich enough to compete with the country. However, every time the court and the central government raises the commercial tax, they are all over their comprador spokespersons. Those censors who are more annoying than crows will scream, competing for profit with the people and starving people everywhere. Those Donglin officials always talk about the shortcomings of the court and crying bitterly, but no one can compare to them when fighting for power and profit. In Yangzhou, Mao Jue looked sad, lamentable, and motivating, but he also had the taste of self-rewarding.

The greedy and inflated Jiangnan clan, Mao Jue probably opened an opening in Japan, so these guys would have to stuff them in a stern manner. At that time, what Japan heard about might be that Jiangnan had no choice but to cooperate. As for Japan, there was no way to interfere except those who came to travel and send money!

A hypocritical smile on his face, Mao Jue lighted his head with a humble look, and his eyes looked as sincere as he would be. Who knew that Luo Ning not only did not take his tricks, but instead turned her charming eyes out the window.

"When I came, the family of Shen Shibo in Hangzhou had just bought more than 300 acres of land on Jeju Island and wanted to build a new village. This is said to be a bitter and cold land in the northern wasteland. But I look at it, it is really a unique view. I also want to buy 1,000 acres of land. When I get old in the future, I can spend my days here. Can General Mao be willing to give this kindness?"

Luo Ning is serious, her dark eyes are like the deep water of the West Lake, and she looks at herself affectionately, but Mao Jue's mouth keeps twitching. Sister, do you really treat yourself as the most beautiful beauty? Everyone has to listen to you? Still want to reach into Sakhalin Island?

It seemed that Mao Jue looked wrong, and the girl gave her resentful look, picked up the small soup bowl again and took a sip of her very ladylike sip, then she lifted her plump breasts again.

"I am not an unreasonable person. I traveled thousands of miles north and naturally prepared some things for the general. Is the general interested?"

"Oh? Let's hear it."

It is said that the red sleeves are filled with fragrance. With a fragrance, Luo Ning took out a scroll from her sleeve and handed it over lightly. To be honest, Mao Jue was really curious. Luo Ning was a smart woman who could bring the Luo family to a steady level, but it was not something that could be exchanged for the winks. He quickly opened the scroll, and Mao Jue's brows immediately raised. Adrena also leaned her little head as quickly as a kitten, and then she exclaimed in surprise.

"this……"

A picture is vivid, probably from the hands of famous artists. It is painted a harbor, which is quite like "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". The swaying sails, busy people, transporting weather, and even the wet light rain are all vividly expressed. The painting can be regarded as a famous painting. If it is left to future generations, it should not be a problem to sell it for millions, but can this thing allow Mao Jue to cut a piece of the Japanese cake to the Luo family?

It's really possible!

After staring at the painting for three seconds, Mao Jue raised his head solemnly.

"Zheng Zhilong?"

This really shocked Luo Ning. She tried so much to make a fool of herself, and the purpose was to give Mao Jue a deep impression. It was better to say, Brother Mao, Zheng Zhilong is coming to fuck you! I will tell you first, isn’t it? This is much better!

But she really didn't expect Mao Jue to guess it herself. She was stunned for two or three seconds before she nodded in surprise.

"That's right, Zheng Zhilong, the leader of the South China Sea, also brought the Red-haired Vanguard of Macau and Ryukyu."

After a breath, she added another sentence.

"It's Xiao Liuqiu! There is also the one who paints this picture and is Quanzhou."

"time?"

"I drew this painting half a month ago. Feiniao sent a letter to Dengzhou. I received Zheng Zhilong's South China Sea Conference one and a half months ago. I went directly from Songjiang to sea. After two days in Tieshan, I came here directly."

Now Luo Ning has revealed his feelings and has not reserved it at all. It wasn't that he was shocked by Mao Jue, this should be her original plan. This woman is really smart enough. She knew that even if he relied on the news to threaten Mao Jue's agreement, he was a local snake and felt uncomfortable. He could still squeeze out the Luo family if he found an excuse. But now, the pretentious momentum is full of impression on Mao Jue, and no matter how generously he passed the news to Mao Jue, he would not treat the Luo family badly with this kind of favor in time.

Luo Ning's mission was achieved, and the rest was left for Mao Jue to have a headache. She sat on the ground and rubbed her forehead. Mao Jue had a headache. She really wished she hadn't seen Luo Ning today.

Luo Ning's picture is used to show off, but for experts, there are many details that can be provided by one picture. After all, he has become the leader of the East China Sea. He basically knows the shape of the ship walking in the East China Sea. For example, the tall and flat one with a boat tower is called Daqing Ship and Fu Ship. It basically belongs to Zheng Zhilong's main battleship and usually acts as a merchant ship. Such a ship is the closest to Fujian, and such a ship seems to account for 60% to 70% in the dense ports, which shows that Fujian's local maritime strength has been almost assembled by the Zheng family pirates.

On the sea far away, several masts were towering, with crosses hanging, and slightly big belly. It was a Dutch ship. Mao Jue took the Dutch East India Company to Pi Island and immediately sent the ship to inform him. It seemed that the Dutch East India Company either did not receive a message, or it simply needed a trade point in Tieshan, and Nagasaki's trade point. According to the appetite of Western colonists, it is not impossible!

There are two pointed long ships on the sea. They are Poni pirates, with dragon flags hanging, which look like the Annan ship. The pirates in this place have all come to participate in the gathering of the leader, so the assembly of Zheng Zhilong's pirate group is basically seven out of ten.

All that is left is supply, a meeting was held, everyone had a drink, and discussed how to chop over the group of fat sheep by pulling the job side by side, and how to divide the fat. This was half a month ago. Maybe this was already started in this skill.

There is no need to compete in Zhoushan, and Mao Jue is too tired to get through. Even Nagasaki and Kyushu Island don’t have much time left.

"One month!"

Looking at the picture, Mao Jue said this to himself.

Still a little confused about the situation, Adrena still looked at Mao Jue incomprehensible, put down the picture, and Mao Jue simply hugged Luo Ning with fists.

"Mao cannot continue to be accompaniment, please forgive me, Shopkeeper Luo!"

Yanran smiled, Luo Ning was finally a little charming now and nodded intellectually.

"I understand that there are also some business dealings between the Luo family and the Zheng family in Nanhai. I am brave. If the general wants to go on the war, please take me with you!"

Hey, little bitch, and he still stuck to my official family? The foreign girl's big eyes immediately widened, but what surprised her even more was that after hesitating for a second, Mao Jue actually nodded in agreement.

"In this way, I'll bother Manager Luo!"

"Master, this is..."

"Na, let someone call Luo Zhige, Han Cheng, Song Xiance, Su Changmei and the others to me to call us for an emergency military discussion!"

Seeing that Mao Jue's expression was very wrong, he didn't say anything more, Adrena turned around and hurriedly went downstairs.

He bowed to Luo Ning again with fists and bowed. Before leaving, Mao Jue gave a few instructions to the two maids beside him, and then he hurriedly went downstairs. In a blink of an eye, Luo Ning was left to enjoy the delicious food by himself. He listened to the rushing footsteps below, and a charming smile appeared on her beautiful and petite face.

As soon as he reached out, the girl actually took out a chicken leg from the pot of the chicken stewed mushrooms and stuffed it into her mouth.

The conference room was completely Mao Jue's habit. The long oak table was covered with green cloth, his big head was hung on the wall, helmet, armor, and leaning on the knife with both hands. He looked like Jiang Guangtou, the chairman of the later generations. He looked majestic and sat under his portrait, holding his chin with one hand and lit the tabletop with the other hand. Mao Jue grinned gloomy.

To be honest, the situation in front of him is all his fault!

Zheng Zhilong is not the earliest ocean-going man in China, but he is definitely the biggest and most successful one. He has been living in Macau since he was a child and has a Nikola name. He then followed his uncle Huang Cheng, the pirates Li Dan and Yan Siqi, and finally made a breakthrough in Taiwan and established his own power. Zheng Zhilong chose an extremely smart path, defected to the court, and was ruled by Xiong Wencan to the emperor. With this white identity, his strength expanded like a snowball, defeating a series of competitors such as the pirates Liu Xiang and the Dutch.

However, Zheng Zhilong, despite the huge stalls, had the greatest source of interests. He relied on monopoly on trade with Japan, earning millions of taels each year. After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Zhilong defected to the Qing Dynasty and was said to have brought tens of millions of taels of silver to the north. As a result, the humanitarian wealth was not revealed, which made the Later Jin barbarians, who were afraid of poverty, targeted them and were finally killed in Caishikou, the capital.

The contradiction is here. When leaving Japan last year, Mao Jue ordered the closure of Nagasaki Port and let the Nagasaki vassal Daimai Inoue Futaro Suoguo, Zheng Zhilong's fleet also began to be turned away. This was even more painful than breaking his life. Mao Jue had already thought of the rebound of this guy.

But Mao Jue was too ideal. He thought that Zheng Zhilong had to negotiate with him, right? It was not impossible to just collect some tariffs and share some with Zheng Zhilong. Who would give people a big face and have a wide range of ways? But he forgot that Mao Wenlong was a pirate after all, and this guy didn't think about discussing it well. He jumped up and tried hard to get his eyes closed.

It's really a turn of feng shui. The city wall is changing with the king's flag. At the beginning of last year, he was thinking about stabbing Nagasaki, Japan. This year, he was the one who guarded others to attack. Moreover, Zheng Zhilong was not like Japan. When he was young, he stood in the sea to bully people and stared at him on the land. But now they also have naval masters and boats, and even the Dutch people can't beat Zheng Zhilong. Mao Jue was really unsure whether the navy who became a monk halfway through could have worked for him.

And you should know that Dongjiang's ultimate enemy was the Later Jin Dynasty. This series of wars were all to make themselves rich and allow Dongjiang to withstand the Iron Cavalry all over the Qing Dynasty. It really felt that fighting with him Zheng Zhilong was of no benefit and was just consumed. How did Japan's first shogunate, Kamakura Shogunate, perish? Hojo Current Affairs and Kublai Khan, had amassed the Yuan army. Although the Yuan army was completely wiped out twice, a large number of samurai's family members who came to participate in the war also went bankrupt because they did not have any rewards. The ruling foundation of Kamakura Shogunate General Komakura was destroyed. The backlash warriors stood on the emperor's side and killed the Hojo family. Not many years after the Battle of the Chinese New Year, the Kamakura Shogunate was destroyed.

This is a lesson from the past!

But Mao Jue believed in Luo Ning's news. She traveled thousands of miles north not to make fun of you. People came to him. No matter how reluctant Mao Jue was to accept this war, he had to accept it.

It was a bit like in the movie. In just a few minutes, a lot of things were released from Mao Jue's mind. Unfortunately, they were all messy, and they didn't think of any usefulness for the war in front of them. Just as he was irritated to beat the table, Luo Zhige and others finally came in. Looking at Mao Jue who was a little irritated, the governor of Sakhalin Island, Mao Jue, was full of surprise and suspicion and bowed heavily.

"Biaoxiawai has seen Mr. Jiang. Mr. Jiang summoned Mr. Zhang so late. What happened?"

"The Japanese military information, I will leave tonight! After I leave, you will be the commander of Kuye, Han will become the deputy commander, and Sumu Yertai will be the garrison officer. I will leave this Red Twin Cities to you!"

So anxious! Not to mention Luo Zhige, even Song Xiance and others didn't react. After a full second, Song Xiance asked in surprise.

"Jiang Ye, what happened to Japan?"

"I'll talk about this matter when I get on the ship. Let's solve the problem of Kuye first! This year, I will continue to farm in Kuye. After the Red Twin Cities are filled, you will build the next city at the Storm Point near Mao Lianwei. For Kuye natives, try to recruit them as much as possible, just follow the Hamkyung Jurchen example."

Speaking of this, Mao Jue suddenly glanced at Song Xiance's big head for no reason, and then turned his head towards Adrena again.
